Update: Version 1.2 is now available, with several balance changes, notably to the final boss. Be sure to update!

After the events of I Wanna Be The Guy, The Kid is invited to a game show hosted by an imposing figure! Fight your way through several game challenges to compete for a high score. Do you have what it takes to master these games and win the grand prize?

Developed by Cherry Treehouse for Fangame Marathon 2022's Blind Adventure event, WannaFest 22 is a fast-paced rollercoaster through hidden gaming gems of the past!

Features:

-> Several stages faithfully based on cult classic games
-> Fast-paced gameplay focused on variety and scoring
-> Unique and exciting boss encounters
-> Crisp, colorful graphics and catchy music
-> Reprising voice actors from the original I Wanna Be The Guy
-> Plenty of achievements and extras
-> Full controller support
-> English and Japanese (subtitles) support

This was a heavy collaborative effort, no single stage was developed by only one person.

We worked really hard on this, we hope you enjoy it!

This game is absolutely incredible, there's a criticism this game sometimes receives that it doesn't feel much like an IWBTG fangame, but I absolutely disagree. The game feels like it blends the mechanics of the games it's based on with the fundamental fangame movement, and it definitely feels closer to IWBTG than the games it's based on. The level design is amazing, and there's lots of great references and jokes that are a delight to see, and give the game lots of personality. It's really hard to articulate just how impressive and amazing and varied this game is, it takes the original formula Run The Marathon started and perfects it, and makes one of the absolute best fangame experiences out there. If you were like me and somehow hadn't played it, yet, it's never too late to start.

Before I start this review, I just want to say that I mean no ill will towards the creators of this game.
They are all awesome people and I wish them the best!

With that being said, my feelings on Wannafest 22 are complicated.

When I first saw this game in FM22, I was super hyped. How could I not be? Look at it!

Then when the game came out, I couldn't play it on my computer at the time so I had to wait until I got a new one, which only added to my anticipation.


Then I played it.


At first, I thought it was a masterpiece!

But then, as I played through the game, a sinking feeling appeared.


That feeling being... disappointment.

But before I start getting negative, I want to list all the positives.

- This game looks absolutely fantastic. Almost flawless!
- I think the Klonoa and Parappa stages were cool.
- The final area (pre-final boss) is pretty good.

And that's all the stuff I liked.

The rest of the game is either mediocre or just... not good.

- The stages are really unoriginal. They all feel like rom hacks which, while it is technically impressive, just makes me feel like "Why am I playing this when I could be playing the actual game?"
This is why I like the final area, it's the only part that feels like a real fangame, which in an iwbtg fangame isn't a good thing.

- The bosses are meh but the final boss is downright unfun. That boss single-handedly made me take this game from a 6/10 to a 5/10.
Even a carbon copy of the OG guy fight would have been better than... whatever that boss is.

- Traps are spread too far apart and when they happen, they end up feeling cruel instead of comedic.

- The Super Monkey Ball stage goes on for WAAAAY too long. 5 full stages of ball rolling was not necessary. 3 or even 2 would've been just fine.

I could go on but I don't like being negative that much so I'll stop it here.


With all that being said... I would still recommend this game to others and even newcomers.
It's a great showcase of this community's best talent and it seems that most people really like this game.

If you enjoy this game, good! I'm glad someone could like what I couldn't.

As for me? I'm going to bed. I'm tired.
